Insomniacs

In today's world, especially in the U.S., there is an ever growing amount of people who have problems sleeping. A poll, conducted by WB&A Market Research, used a random sample of 1,506 adults who were interviewed by phone between September 20 and November 7, 2004. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. This survey found that six in 10 adult motorists said they have driven while drowsy in the past year; 4 percent reported that they have had an accident or near-accident because they were too tired or actually fell asleep while driving.Three-fourths said their partner has a sleep problem, and the most common is snoring. Also,roughly one-fourth of respondents who have partners report that their sexual relationship has been hurt because they have been too sleepy. They had sex less often or lost interest in having sex because they were too tired. As well as seven in 10 people said their doctor has never asked them about their sleep. Analyst of these numbers try to explain this by saying the nation's sleep habits can be attributed to an always-on-the-go society. The U.S. is virtually on a non stop 24 hr schedual. Also, it is not the amount of sleep that seems to be the problem, but the quality of sleep that people are getting. And who said that only college students had it bad? http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/03/28/lack.of.sleep.ap/index.html
